Testing CH3 + CH4

Which of the following is a benefit of static analysis?

• a. Defects can be identified that might not be caught by dynamic testing

• b. Early defect identification requires less documentation

• c. Early execution of the code provides a gauge of code quality

• d. Tools are not needed because reviews are used instead of executing code

Which of the following techniques is a form of static testing?

• a. Error guessing

• b. Automated regression testing

• c. Providing inputs and examining the resulting outputs

• d. Code review

If a review session is led by the author of the work product, what type of review is it?

• a. Ad hoc

• b. Walkthrough

• c. Inspection

• d. Audit

What is the main difference between static and dynamic testing?

• a. Static testing is performed by developers; dynamic testing is performed by testers

• b. Manual test cases are used for dynamic testing; automated tests are used for static testing

• c. Static testing must be executed before dynamic testing

• d. Dynamic testing requires executing the software; the software is not executed during static testing

In a formal review, which role is normally responsible for documenting all the open issues?

• a. The facilitator

• b. The author

• c. The scribe

• d. The manager

How is statement coverage determined?

• a. Number of test decision points divided by the number of test cases

• b. Number of decision outcomes tested divided by the total number of executable statements

• c. Number of possible test case outcomes divided by the total number of function points

• d. Number of executable statements tested divided by the total number of executable statements

If you have a section of code that has one simple IF statement, how many tests will be needed to achieve 100% decision coverage?

• a. 1

• b. 2

• c. 5

• d. Unknown with this information

What is error guessing?

• a. A testing technique used to guess where a developer is likely to have made a mistake

• b. A technique used for assessing defect metrics

• c. A development technique to verify that all error paths have been coded

• d. A planning technique used to anticipate likely schedule variances due to faults

You are testing a machine that scores exam papers and assigns grades. Based on the score achieved the grades are as follows: 1-49 = F, 50-59 = D-, 60-69 = D, 70-79 = C, 80-89 = B, 90-100=A If you apply equivalence partitioning, how many test cases will you need to achieve minimum test coverage?

• a. 6

• b. 8

• c. 10

• d. 12
